Wouldn't it be more accurate to describe this manga as a parody of shōjo manga rather than an homage/proper example of it? In-universe it appears to be sincere, but to its target audience (Splatoon fans) it's a parody. It wasn't serialized or sold toward that demographic in real life nor in-universe (to our knowledge). The events that take place in it are nothing but over-exaggerations of common romance manga tropes; its meta humorous nature seems to not be mentioned throughout the article.
